Jordan has been in school a total of 11 days (this includes 2 half days) and I
can not get over the amount of money that is asked to be spent already. I
understand the purposes of fundraising and I really do support it, but good
grief!! Just about every day there is something in her communications folder to
buy...or a request to join something...not only are you putting out money for
the normal stuff such as school clothes, supplies, snacks and lunch
money...there is the Scholastic Book Club, Spirit Orders (Clothing with school
logo), Market Day Fundraiser (food/snacks), Pizza Kit Fundraiser, Home & School
League membership fee, candle fundraiser, cookie dough fundraiser.....and of
course Picture day is coming. I think there was something else, but I can't
think of it right now. 

I can't stand to not order when I DO know that all the money goes to buying
school equipment, supplies, etc....but I think it's getting a bit ridiculous,
considering it's only 11 days into the school year. Is this normal in your
schools? I didn't know that I was going to have to take out a 2nd mortgage to
fund our Kindergarten experience. LMAO  And I bet it only gets worse, huh?
